The incidence of elevation of IOP after keratoplasty and development of glaucoma are significantly decreased with ALK and EK compared with PK. We believe this is due to diminished surgery-induced damage to the anterior chamber angle and trabecular meshwork, and reduced postoperative use of steroids.
